"Not a whit" ->  nghĩa là không gì cả, không một tí nào. 

Ví dụ
It matters not a whit. Does it really matter who the appointment for the Supreme Court is or what is their religion is? The court has appellate (kháng cáo) jurisdiction (quyền thực thi pháp lý) (it can hear the case on appeal) on almost any case that involves a point of constitutional and/or federal law. 

Not a whit. We defy augury (không tuân theo) (điềm báo). There is special providence in the fall of sparrow. If it be now, ’tis not to come; if it be not to come, it will be now; if it be not now, yet it will come. The readiness is all. Since no man, of aught he leaves, knows aught, what is’t to leave betimes? Let be.

You're just a regular person trying to get by in a post-apocalyptic wasteland (đất hoang) that cares not a whit whether you live or die--unless you install a mod that changes that.

Nothing But A Man is not a contemporary film casting a rearview look at the struggles of African-American men and women during the Civil Rights era. It carries not a whit of nostalgia (hoài niệm), nor a whit of expiated (chuộc) guilt by its two white screenwriters.
